The Industry Ministry plans to hand out 10 million fabric face masks for free to help members of the public protect themselves during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Industry Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit said on March 17 the Cabinet had earmarked Bt65 million to produce more than 50 million units.

Manufacturers of the items will be chosen by the Federation of Thai Industries, while the production standards and quality of the fabric used will have to first be approved by the Thailand Textile Institute.

The first lot of a million units will be distributed on April 11, and another 5.6 million units should be ready for distribution by the beginning of May.

Last week our village leader called to ask about all family living on our land and he asked about me the farang living here,we gave all the info he wanted ,so he was fully aware of me being here for three years never leaving the country and to my surprise they came with 4 free masks for my family but not for me,i presume thats another dig at the farang .I have helped this village,given food and employment and this makes me feel they really don't give a hoot about us farangs.

The trick is, not to give a hoot back.

Protect your nearest and dearest, respect those Thais that give respect (there are many) and the rest of the ignorant savages can gtf.

Presumably they will be distributed in Bangkok, like all the Ptt hand sanitiser, and other free masks. It is about time they started distribution of these essentials in Isaan to people who have no hope of buying anything protective!

( cloth ) and a pack of surgical type they came around yesterday and gave the wife another 4 for both of us. In the meantime my wife and several of her friends have been making them for distribution in Bangkok. Drive into local Ampur and all sorts of cloth ones on sale and nowadays just about everyone is wearing them except children.
